Processing...

At the risk of getting in to Mr. Kirn’s territory, I’ve been fooling about a bit with Processing lately, to mixed results. While I have a habit of normally avoiding the coffee cup like the blight that it is, the ease of programming in Processing really makes up for the fact that the result is a .JAR.

In any event, I also purchased an Arduino board, even, thinking that I would perhaps do something of Great Import with the two. Unfortunately, it seems that (unlike, say, 3DS Max) you can’t just dive right in and make Cool Shit. So be it. But if you were curious as to how I’m spending my copious free time, well, there you go.

So, any of my fair readers doing anything interesting with an Arduino or Processing (or Wiring, for that matter, I guess…)? I can’t really come up with any uniquely musical uses, but as music and visuals go together like Fred and Ginger, there is a certain tie-in.
